Anyone know of a way to wake the screen without having to press the power button? I.e., press to wake screen then swipe to unlock?
HTC Desire HD (Ace)
- Thread starter DBT85
- Start date
Ive got that too, for the price its a good buy. Id particularly recommend it if you have a Z as its guarantees the phone wont slide open in your pocket.
On the lookout for a mount in the car, something to use when using the sat nav on the HD.
this one look's different from the usual cheapy ones..

Is anyone having issues with seriously slow web browsing over your data network ? using the device in a GPRS only area is stupidly slow, compared to my iphone 3gs (same network) it loads the page much much quicker?
I was sat there waiting for 25-30 seconds to load ocuk forums where as the same test on iphone 3gs took around 5 seconds

Clingo is crap.
I bought this and it's brilliant (and gives you the choice of vent, suction or dash mount): http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110590223649#ht_2538wt_905

Sounds like 3G vs. HSDPA to me...you definitely had a 'G' on your iPhone at the time and not an 'H'?

I'm using an app called Quick Profiles. It allows you to customing everything about the phone. I have profiles for Work, General, Silent and Bed Time lol..

How are some of the earlier adopters finding it after spending some time with the handset?
Liking it?

Finding it awesome 
. First Android phone but not my first 4.3" HTC device so probably a different viewpoint than most people.
Phone is fast, customisation is easy and very flexible, market is huge, internet is astonishingly fast, GPS is VERY quick to lock on (sub 5 seconds for me, even in the sticks), and to that end Google Navigation is absolutely spot on. The battery's also not as bad as initial fears - I easily make 24h+ now.
For the first time I think I'd be happy to carry this phone on after my contract ends.

I'm still getting to grips with it, only had it over the weekend, so I can't really judge the battery properly until I've spent a few days at work with it to see how it copes with my usual usage.
Initial impressions from the use I have had are very positive, it's a cracking piece of kit, I agree that it seems likely to hold it's own for the full length of my contract, possibly beyond. After multi-tasking with it, I fail to see what dual core will bring to the party, except e-peen waving.
My opinion is that HTC have outdone themselves here, I don’t think they need to introduce a more powerful phone onto the market for at least the next year, I'd suggest in the meantime they maybe launch some incremental models, that improve efficiency and the battery life of the phone.
If they could get a version of this phone that ran for a good 48hrs without charge, it'd be absolutely perfect.

First ever smartphone and I'm finding it absolutely fantastic. You could say that's no great surprise given it's my first, but it's just so good in every department but for battery life.
It's slick and smooth, very quick and reliable.
I love the Android / Sense system and combined with the phone's hardware, it makes for a great experience. I've been using it heavily and had to charge my phone in the late afternoon on Saturday and Sunday, but that's cause I'm fiddling so much with it at the moment and have set the screen to full brightness.
If / when an uprated battery comes out, I'll be in the market for it for sure, as it's the only bad thing about this phone so far in my view. But then everyone knows it's an issue so that's nothing new.

My phone was experiencing lag after the OS update, the fix on p59 resolved this for me but it's annoying that I'm not constantly warned that my phone is in debug mode!

Thats easy to say, near impossible to do though
Oh, I'm not saying I will - there'll be a 1g lighter and 1mm thinner version out by then

If there's an AMOLED version of the DHD that's a few mm thinner and smaller length and breadth-wise, with a better battery but the same in every other way, that alone would be enough to make me upgrade early. I know that in a few months there'll be something better out, but what can you do about it!

I'm hoping HTC will have a 12MP camera, SAMOLED screen and a considerably more powerful battery around then, ideal.
